Sometimes gallows humor is a way we have to deal with stuff like that
I can understand using humor to get through bad situations. I do that myself all the time. I have had to leave a funeral because I knew I was going to start laughing at an inopportune time and didn't want to offend anyone (I was just remembering funny stuff about the person). But, I've known plenty of soldiers and veterans that have many stories about how they personally kept from losing their minds from all the horror they were witnessing and experiencing firsthand, and they were able to do it in ways that weren't completely disrespectful to living and dead beings.
